Chronology of Price Fixing 



July 12, 1917 — Statement by the Secretary of War: 

"At the conference this morning between the Com- 
mittee of the American Iron and Steel Institute and the 
Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Chair- 
man of the Shipping Board and Mr. Baruch, further 
discussion was had of the prospective demand upon 
the steel industry of the country for supplies of various 
steel products for carrying on the war. The steel men 
repeated their assurance that their entire product would 
be available for the need and that they were doing 
everything possible to stimulate an increased produc- 
tion and speed deliveries. The price to be paid for the 
iron and steel products furnished was left to be de- 
termined after the inquiry by the Federal Trade Com- 
mission is completed, with the understanding that the 
price, when fixed, would insure reasonable profits and 
be made with reference to the expanding needs of this 
vital and fundamental industry. 

"The representatives of the Government assured the 
Committee of the Steel Institute that it was the in- 
tention of the Government to distribute the war require- 
ments over the entire iron and steel producing ca- 
pacity of the country." 



Sept. 24, 1917 — Statement issued by Committee on 
Public Information (Official Bulletin, Sept. 25, 
1917): 

"The President has approved an agreement" between 
the War Industries Board and the steel men, fixing the 
following prices, which become effective immediately 
and are subject to revision Jan. 1, 1918, viz: 

Commodity Basis Price agreed upon 

Iron ore Lower Lake ports $5.05 per G. T. 

Coke Connellsville 6.00 per N. T. 

Pig iron 33.00 per G. T. 

Steel bars Pittsburgh-Chicago 2.90 per 100 lb. 

Shapes Pittsburgh-Chicago 3.00 per 100 lb. 

Plates Pittsburgh-Chicago 3.25 per 100 lb. 

"It was stipulated, first, that there should be no 
reduction in the present rate of wages; second, that 
the prices above named should be made to the public

and to the Allies, as well as to the Government; and, 
third, that the steel men pledge themselves to exert 
every effort necessary to keep up the production to the 
maximum of the past, so long as the war lasts. 

"Measures will be taken by the War Industries Board 
for placing orders and supervising the output of the 
steel mills in such manner as to facilitate and expedite 
the requirements of the Government and its Allies for 
war purposes, and to supply the needs of the public 
according to their public importance and in the best 
interest of all, as far as practicable. 

"A spirit of co-operation was manifested by the steel 
men, and no doubt is entertained that every effort will 
be made to bring the production as nearly as possible 
up to the extraordinary demands resulting from the

relations of the steel interests to each other, and will 
assist them in fulfilling their obligations to give the 
country 100 per cent of production at not to exceed 
the prices heretofore announced. 

"Measures will be taken by the War Industries Board 
for placing orders and supervising the output of the 
steel mills in such manner as to facilitate and ex- 
pedite the requirements for war purposes of the Gov- 
ernment and those nations associated with us, and 
to supply the needs of the public according to their 
public importance and in the best interest of all as far 
as practicable. 

"A spirit of co-operation was manifested by the steel 
men and no doubt is entertained that every effort will 
be made to bring the production as nearly as possible 
up to the extraordinary demands resulting from the 
war." 

Nov. 5, 1917 — Announcement by Committee on Public 
Information (Official Bulletin, Nov. 6, 1917): 

"The President has approved an agreement made by 
the War Industries Board with the principal steel indus- 
tries of the United States, fixing maximum prices, sub- 
ject to revision Jan. 1, 1918, on certain steel articles, 
as follows:

"In connection with the above, the iron and steel 
manufacturers have agreed promptly to adjust the 
maximum prices of all iron and steel products other 
than those on which prices have been agreed upon to 
the same general standard as those which have been 
announced. It is expected that this will be done 
promptly and consistently in line with the basic, inter- 
mediate, and finished products, for which definite maxi- 
mum prices have been established." 



Pursuant to the above announcement the Committee 
on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron and 
Steel Institute received from a subcommittee reports 
based on information received from representative 
manufacturers of various other lines of steel and steel 
products, and from such reports and other data avail- 
able, the Committee reached a conclusion as to fair 
and reasonable prices for such products in line with the 
basic, intermediate, and finished products, for which 
definite maximum prices have been established, and 
recommended to the industry under dates of Nov. 13, 
Nov. 20 and Dec. 22, 1917, and Jan. 7, 1918, that such 
prices be adopted as maximum prices, to take effect 
immediately, to apply to-the requirements of the United 
States Government, to the requirements of the Allies 
and for domestic consumption within the United States. 
In making its recommendation, dated Jan. 7, 1918, the 
Committee added the following: 

"The recommendations so far made by the Commit- 
tee as to maximum prices, differentials, etc., cover the 
principal iron and steel products and the Committee 
does not at present deem it necessary to make further 
specific recommendations. 

"In view of President Wilson's statement under date 
of Nov. 5, 1917, that the iron and steel manufacturers 
have agreed promptly to adjust the maximum prices of 
all iron and steel products other than those on which 
prices have been agreed upon, the Committee now 
recommends to the iron and steel industry that the 
prices of all iron and steel products, maximum prices 
for which have not been agreed to with the "War In- 
dustries Board or recommended by the Committee, be 
promptly adjusted so as to be in line with the basic, in- 



CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 11 

termediate, and finished products for which definite 
maximum prices have been established. The Committee 
relies upon the patriotism and good faith of the iron 
and steel industry to accomplish this, and expresses 
the hope that all connected with the iron and steel in- 
dustry will co-operate in the proper spirit to this end." 



Dec. 28, 1917 — Announcement by Committee on Public 
Information (Official Bulletin, Dec. 29, 1917) : 
"The President has approved the recommendation of 
the War Industries Board that the maximum prices 
heretofore fixed by the President upon the recommenda- 
tion of the board upon ore, coke, pig iron, steel, and 
steel products, subject to revision on Jan. 1, 1918, be 
continued in effect until March 31, 1918. No new con- 
tracts calling for delivery of any of said commodities 
or articles on or after April 1, 1918, are to specify a 
price unless coupled with a clause making the price 
subject to revision by any authorized United States 
Government agency, so that all deliveries after that date 
shall not exceed the maximum price then in force, al- 
though ordered or contracted for in the meantime. 

"It is expected that all manufacturers and pro- 
ducers will observe the maximum prices now fixed." 

The Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute calls the especial 
attention of the industry to the above announcement, 
which applies to all prices, differentials and extras 
recommended by the Committee. 



Under date of Feb. 21, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made an announcement can- 
celling differentials on iron and steel scrap, together 
with interpretations in respect of same which had pre- 
viously been announced, and recommended certain mod- 
ified differentials to be in effect on and after Feb. 21, 
1918. These modified differentials appear under the 
proper heading in the August, 1918, issue of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute pamphlet. 



March 26, 1918 — Announcement by the Council of Na- 
tional Defense (Official Bulletin, March 27, 1318) : 
"The President has approved the recommendation 

of the Price Fixing Committee of the War Industries 



12 CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 

Board that the maximum prices heretofore fixed by the 
President upon the recommendation of the board upon 
ore, coke, steel, and steel products, subject to revision 
on April 1, 1918, be continued in effect until July 1, 
1918; from April 1 to July 1, however, the maximum 
price of basic pig iron be reduced from $33 to $32 per 
gross ton, and that the maximum price of scrap steel 
be reduced from $30 to $29 per gross ton. No new 
contracts calling for delivery of any of said commodities 
or articles on or after July 1, 1918, are to specify a 
price unless coupled with a clause making the price 
subject to revision by any authorized United States 
Government agency, so that all deliveries after that 
date shall not exceed the maximum price then in force, 
although ordered or contracted for in the meantime. 

"It is expected that all manufacturers and pro- 
ducers will observe the maximum prices now fixed." 



Under date of March 28, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement: 

"Referring to the statement authorized by the 
Council of National Defense, under date of March 26, 
that "The President has approved the recommenda- 
tion of the Price Fixing Committee of the War Indus- 
tries Board, that the maximum prices heretofore fixed 
by the President upon the recommendation of the board 
upon ore, coke, steel and steel products, subject to re- 
vision on April 1, 1918, be continued in effect until 
July 1, 1918; from April 1 to July 1, however, the 
maximum price of basic pig iron be reduced from $33 
to $32 per gross ton, and that the maximum price of 
scrap steel be reduced from $30 to $29 per gross ton/ 
it should be explained that it is the understanding of 
this Committee that the reduction of $1 per gross ton 
is made on all prices of scrap, both base grades and 
differentials; the effect being to reduce by $1 per gross 
ton all prices shown in the differentials recommended 
by this Committee under date of February 21, 1918, 
and appearing on pages 14-A to 14-C inclusive of the 
list of maximum prices of iron and steel products, pub- 
lished by the American Iron and Steel Institute." 

Note: This refers to the pamphlet published in 
January, 1918. 

Under date of May 2, 1918, the Chairman of the 



CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 13 

Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute, made the following statement: 

"Referring to the statement made by me under 
date of March 28, 1918, the War Industries Board has 
authorized the following ruling in respect of scrap iron 
and steel: 

"'(A) Consumers of scrap iron and steel employ- 
ing an agent to purchase scrap for them may, 
at their discretion, pay as compensation for such service 
a sum not exceeding 3% per cent of the agreed price at 
which such material is to be delivered, in cases where 
the agent guarantees the quality and delivery of an 
agreed tonnage of the material. This compensation 
shall be shown as a separate charge in billing; the ma- 
terial may not be invoiced at any price in excess of the 
maximums announced. 

"'(B) Under no circumstances may a dealer or 
broker split or divide this extra sum which may be 
allowed him by a mill with any other dealer, broker or 
producer, and the highest price that any one under 
any circumstances may pay is the maximum price as 
stated in the announcement of the War Industries 
Board under date of March 26, 1918.' " 



Under date of May 14, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement: 

"The War Industries Board has confirmed this Com- 
mittee's interpretation of President Wilson's announce- 
ment of December 28, 1917, viz: that all deliveries of 
iron ore, pig iron, bar iron, steel and steel products, 
made on and after April 1, 1918, under contracts entered 
into on and after December 28, 1917, shall not be in- 
voiced at prices higher than the maximum prices in 
effect at time of delivery, as specified in President 
Wilson's announcement of March 27, 1918. It is hoped 
that all buyers and sellers of any of the above products 
will be governed by this ruling." 



Under date of May 21, 1918, with correction under 
date of May 25, 1918, the Chairman of the Com- 
mittee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute recommended certain changes 
and modifications in the maximum prices, differentials, 
etc., previously recommended by the Institute and pub- 



14 CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 

lished in its pamphlet dated January, 1918. The above 
mentioned modified maximum prices, differentials, ex- 
tras, etc., appear under the proper headings in the 
August, 1918, issue of the American Iron and Steel 
Institute pamphlet. 

June 21, 1918 — The War Industries Board authorized 
the following statement (Official Bulletin, June 24, 
1918) : 

"The President has approved the agreement made 
by the Price Fixing Committee of the War Industries 
Board with the representatives of the iron ore, pig iron 
and steel interests, that the maximum prices now pre- 
vailing on iron ore, pig iron and iron and steel products 
be continued in effect for the three months ending- 
September 30, 1918, with the following exceptions: 

"1. Lake Superior Iron Ore. 

"Base prices of Lake Superior iron ore delivered to 
lower lake ports are increased 45c. per gross ton on and 
after July 1, 1918, subject to the following condition: 
These increased prices are based on the advances in 
rail freight rates effected June 25, 1918, and on the 
present lake rates and in the event of any increase or 
decrease in either rail or lake rates said prices shall be 
increased or decreased accordingly on all deliveries 
made during the continuance of such increased or de- 
creased freight rates. 

"2. On and after July 1, 1918, the basing point for 
steel bars, shapes and plates will be Pittsburgh, Pa. 

"No new contracts calling for delivery of any of 
the above commodities or articles on or after October 
1, 1918, are to specify a price unless coupled with a 
clause making the price subject to revision by any au- 
thorized United States Government agency, so that all 
deliveries after that date shall not exceed the maximum 
price then in force, although ordered or contracted for 
in the meantime. It is expected that all manufacturers 
and producers will observe the maximum prices now 
fixed." 

Under date of July 16, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made an announcement modi- 
fying certain differentials on scrap iron and steel which 
are embodied under the proper headings in the Au- 
gust, 1918, issue of the American Iron and Steel Insti- 
tute pamphlet. 



CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 15 

Under date of July 30, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made an announcement in 
regard to prices and differentials for certain iron and 
steel products which are embodied under the proper 
headings in the August, 1918, issue of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute pamphlet. 



Under date of Aug, 12, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement: 

"In order that rolling mills manufacturing bar iron, 
and also open-hearth steel plants, may secure shipments 
of wrought iron and steel turnings, it is hereby recom- 
mended that for a period of 30 days, commencing Mon- 
day, Aug. 19, and expiring Sunday, Sept. 22, no wrought 
iron or steel turnings of any character be shipped to 
blast furnaces for the manufacture of pig iron, with the 
exception of turnings that are being used strictly for 
the manufacture of low-phosphorus pig iron by the fol- 
lowing interests: 

Midvale Steel & Ordnance Co., Coatesville, Pa. 
Robesonia Iron Company, Robesonia, Pa. 
Northern Iron Company, Standish, N. Y. 
Northern Iron Company, Port Henry, N. Y. 
Cranberry Furnace Company, Johnson City* Tenn. 
Delaware River Steel Company, Chester, Pa. 
The Thomas Furnace Company, Milwaukee, Wis. 
Eastern Steel Company, Pottstown, Pa. 

"In the event of the turnings being of such nature 
that they cannot be used by rolling mills or steel plants, 
on presentation of these facts to : 

W. Vernon Phillips, Chairman, 

Subcommittee on Scrap Iron and Steel, 

Pennsylvania Building, 

Philadelphia, Pa., 

a special permit may be issued for such shipment. 

"In cases where parties desiring to comply with this 
recommendation are now under contract for shipments 
of borings or turnings to blast furnaces it is believed 
that cancellation of pro rata portions of such contracts 
can be arranged on application to the Chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Scrap Iron and Steel. 

"It is hoped that all interests concerned will rigidly 
follow this request, as it is of vital necessity at this 
time." 



16 CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 

August 27, 1918 — The War Industries Board authorized the 
following statement (Official Bulletin, August 30, 1918) :

the following resolution was passed : 

" Beit Resolved, That where prices are stated to be fixed 
for the United States Government, the government's asso- 
ciated with it in this war, and the public (or primary civil- 
ian sales), the said prices are hereby declared to extend to 
the Government and civilians of the United States (including 
civilians of its territories and insular possessions), and to the 
following governments, i. e., Great Britain, France, Italy, 
Belgium and Japan. 

"And be it further Resolved, That these maximum prices 
shall not extend to purchases made by the civilians of the 
latter mentioned allied nations nor to the governments or 
civilians of nations other than those above enumerated." 

All prices, differentials and extras recommended by 
the Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the Amer- 
ican Iron and Steel Institute have the same application. 



Under date of September 12, 1918, the Chairman of the Com- 
mittee on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron and 
Steel Institute issued a statement modifying prices, differen- 
tials, etc., on steel bands, hoops and strips, steel castings, tin- 
plate, and wire rope, all of which are embodied under the 
proper headings in the November, 1918, issue of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute pamphlet.

CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 17 

the three months ending December 31st, 1918, with the fol- 
lowing exceptions : 

"1. Lake Superior Iron Ore. 

" Base prices of Lake Superior iron ore delivered to lower 
lake ports are increased 25c . per gross ton on and after October 
1, 1918, subject to the following condition : These increased 
prices are based on the rail freight rates now in effect and on 
the present lake rates and in the event of any increase or 
decrease in either rail or lake rates said prices shall be in- 
creased or decreased accordingly on all deliveries made during 
the continuance of such increased or decreased freight rates. 

" 2. Pig Iron. 

"The base price on basic iron is increased to $33 f.o.b. 
furnace. The base price on No. 2 foundry iron is increased to 
$34 f.o.b. furnace. The price of standard Bessemer iron is 
fixed at $35.20 f.o.b. furnace. The above prices are subject 
to the following changes from previous practice as regards 
delivery : 

"(a) Pig iron produced in the Virginia, Tennessee and 
Birmingham districts and scattering districts South of 
the Ohio and Potomac Rivers, including furnaces at St. 
Louis, Mo., but not including furnaces bordering on the 
Ohio River, shall be sold on an f.o.b. Birmingham, Alabama, 
basis . 

"(b) Pig iron produced in the Eastern district, i.e., from 
all blast furnaces located East of the Allegheny Mountains 
and North of the Potomac River, shall be sold on an f.o.b. 
Pittsburgh basis. 

"(c) Pig iron from all other producing districts or furnaces 
shall be sold f.o.b. furnaces as- heretofore. 

" No new contracts calling for delivery of any of the above 
commodities or articles on or after January 1, 1919, are to 
specify a price unless coupled with a clause making the price 
subject to revision by any authorized United States Govern- 
ment Agency, so that all deliveries after that date shall not 
exceed the maximum price then in force, although ordered 
or contracted for in the meantime. It is expected that all 
manufacturers and producers will observe the maximum 
prices now fixed." 



18 CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 

Under date of September 26, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute issued the following statement : 

"The agreement made by the Price Fixing Committee 
of the War Industries Board with the representatives of the 
iron ore, pig iron and steel interests, approved by the Presi- 
dent and announced under date of September 24, 1918, in- 
creases prices of Lake Superior iron ore, and base prices on 
certain grades of pig iron, and makes changes from previous 
practice as regards delivery of pig iron ; all to be in effect for 
the three months ending December 31, 1918. 

"The Committee on Steel and Steel Products has re- 
ceived from a sub-committee reports based on information 
received from representative manufacturers of various lines 
of steel and steel products, and from such reports and other 
data available the Committee has concluded that certain 
changes and modifications in the maximum prices, differentials, 
extras, etc., as heretofore recommended by the Institute, 
are fair and reasonable ; and the Committee recommends that 
such revised maximum prices, differentials and extras be 
adopted to take effect on and after October 1, 1918." 

The above mentioned increased prices and changes ap-. 
proved* by the President, as well as the revised maximum 
prices, differentials and extras recommended by this Com- 
mittee, are embodied under the proper headings in the 
November, 1918, issue of the American Iron and Steel 
Institute pamphlet. 



Under date of September 26, 1918, on recommendation of 
the Subcommittee on Scrap Iron and Steel, the Chairman 
of the Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following announcement : 

"The Revenue Bill approved Oct. 3, 1917, imposing 
a war tax on freight, states that such tax shall be paid by the 
'person, corporation, partnership or association paying for 
the services or facilities rendered..' 

"In cases where the prices on products of iron or steel 
contemplate delivery to buyer's works, the war tax on the 
freight is payable by the seller. The buyer may, at his 



CHRONOLOGY OF PRICE FIXING 19 

option, agree to pay the war tax on the freight, but may 
not do so if such payment makes the price which he pays for 
the material exceed the maximum price. 

"Sellers of scrap iron and steel must deduct the freight, 
plus the war tax, in determining the maximum price f.o.b. 
shipping point." 



Under date of October 3, 1918, the Chairman of the Com- 
mittee on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron and 
Steel Institute enumerated a number of corrections in the 
prices announced by the Committee on September 26, 1918, all 
of which will be found under the proper headings in the 
November, 1918, issue of the American Iron and Steel 
Institute pamphlet. 



Under date of October 10, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron 
and Steel Institute issued a statement concerning extras for 
packing for barbed wire ; also a statement concerning ware- 
house prices, all of which are embodied under the proper 
headings in the November, 1918, issue of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute pamphlet. 

Under date of October 17, 1918, the Chairman of the Com- 
mittee on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron 
and Steel Institute issued a statement embodying changes in

FERROALLOYS ANNOUNCEMENTS 25 

Announcements Regarding Ferroalloys and 
Manganese and their Ores 



Under date of May 16, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement: 

"As the result of an investigation in the trade 
made by the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute, and of a meeting of 
the consumers of ferromanganese and spiegeleisen held 
in Pittsburgh on May 7, pursuant to call of the Sub- 
committee on Ferroalloys, and from other data avail- 
able, the Committee on Steel and Steel Products recom- 
mends to the trade that a manganese content of 7.0 
per cent for ferromanganese, and 16 per cent for spie- 
geleisen be adopted as standard, instead of the existing 
current standards of 78 per cent to 82 per cent man- 
ganese in ferromanganese, and 19 per cent to 21 per 
cent manganese, or higher, in spiegeleisen; that de- 
liveries of material of the new recommended standard 
be accepted as good deliveries on existing contracts, 
with proper adjustment of tonnage and price; and that 
no ferromanganese or spiegeleisen be made hereafter 
of higher manganese content than as above recom- 
mended, except with the approval of this Committee, 
which will consider any special requests from consum- 
ers, who can show the necessity of a higher manganese 
content, when submitted through the Subcommittee on 
Ferroalloys. 

"The Committee on Steel and Steel Products is of 
opinion that a proper adjustment of tonnage would con- 
template the delivery of the same total tonnage of 
contained metallic manganese as is due on undelivered 
balances of existing contracts. 

"The above recommendations are made because of 
the necessity of the maximum possible conservation of 
shipping, and the consequent need to utilize domestic 
ores to the greatest extent possible. 

''The Committee relies on the patriotism and good 
faith of the iron and steel industry to accomplish this, 
and expresses the hope that all connected with the iron 
and steel industry will co-operate in the proper spirit 
to this end." 



26 FERROALLOYS ANNOUNCEMENTS 

Under date of May 21, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement: 

"As a result of an investigation in the trade, made 
by the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute, and of a meeting of the con- 
sumers of chrome ore for refractory purposes in steel 
manufacture, held in Pittsburgh on May 7, pursuant 
to call of the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys, and from 
other data available, the Committee on Steel and Steel 
Products recommends to the steel industry that it re- 
strict the use of chrome ore for direct refractory use 
to a maximum of \ x /z lbs. per ton of open-hearth 
ingots; that it purchase for the above purposes only 
domestic or Canadian ores containing not to exceed 38 
per cent chromic oxide, nor more than 35 per cent 
chromic oxide as an average, each carload to be con- 
sidered as a separate unit for analysis. The Committee 
recommends that the use of chrome brick and chrome 
cement do not exceed the equivalent of a maximum of 
Vz lb. chrome ore per ton of ingots. The Committee 
urges that every effort be made to find substitutes for 
chrome ore for refractory use in open-hearth steel mak- 
ing, with a view to effecting the maximum possible 
reduction in the use of chrome ore, without curtailing 
steel production. 

"The Committee further recommends that producers 
or sellers of chrome ore restrict the sales of such ores 
for refractory purposes to the above mentioned maxi- 
mum and average percentages of chromic oxide. 

"The stocks of foreign ores on hand, together with 
those to be brought in during the year ending April 1, 
1919, will not permit the use by the ferrochrome and 
chemical trades of a chrome ore mixture averaging 
higher than 45 per cent chromic oxide. The Committee 
recommends that the ferrochrome and chemical trades 
begin at once the use of such mixture, acquiring 
promptly the domestic or Canadian ores necessary 
therefor. 

"This Committee will consider the requests of any 
steel manufacturer whose special conditions seem to 
require a greater consumption of chrome ore than above 
recommended, when such requests are submitted 
through the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys and have 
received its approval. 



FERROALLOYS ANNOUNCEMENTS 27 

"The above recommendations are made because of 
the necessity for the maximum possible conservation 
of shipping 1 , and the consequent need to utilize domestic 
and Canadian ores to the greatest extent possible. 

"The Committee relies on the patriotism and good 
faith of the iron and steel, ferrochrome and chemical 
industries to accomplish this, and expresses the hope 
that all connected with these industries, as well as the 
producers and sellers of chrome ores, will co-operate 
in the proper spirit to this end." 



Under date of June 8, 1918, the Secretary of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the Ameri- 
can Iron and Steel Institute sent the following letter 
to the manufacturers of chrome brick and chrome 
cement: 

"Referring to Judge Gary's announcement of May 
21, in respect of chrome ore, as published in the Iron 
Age issue of May 23: 

"I am advised that the Committee's recommenda- 
tions that producers or sellers of chrome ores restrict 
the sales of such ores for refractory purposes to ores 
containing a maximum of 38 per cent chromic oxide 
and not more than 35 per cent chromic oxide as an 
average is not clearly understood to refer to sales of 
chrome ore for use in the manufacture of chrome brick 
and chrome cement. 

"This is to advise you that it was the Committee's 
intention to recommend that the sale, and consequently 
the purchase, of chrome ore for use in th° manufacture 
of chrome brick and chrome cement should be re- 
stricted to ores averaging not more than 35 per cent 
chromic oxide and containing not more than 38 per 
cent as a maximum. 

"I shall appreciate your advices that this is clearly 
understood, and that you expect to govern yourself 
accordingly." 

Under date of July 16, 1918, the Chairman 
of the Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute, made the following 
statement: 

"In a statement issued by me under date of May 
16, 1918, the Committee on Steel and Steel Products 



28 FERROALLOYS ANNOUNCEMENTS 

recommended to the trade that a manganese content 
of 70 per cent for ferromanganese, and 16 per cent 
for spiegeleisen be adopted as standard, and that de- 
liveries of material of the new recommended standard 
be accepted as good deliveries on existing contracts, 
with proper adjustment of tonnage and price. 

"In order to avoid possible misunderstanding the 
Committee now desires, to make it clear that its recom- 
mendation that deliveries of material of the new 
recommended standard be accepted as good deliveries 
on existing contracts was intended to refer to existing 
contracts for ferromanganese or spiegel of domestic 
manufacture only, and that the Committee is of opinion 
that contracts for foreign ferromanganese or spiegel- 
eisen in effect on May 16, 1918, should be filled in ac- 
cordance with the terms of the contract and current 
customs of the trade at the time the contracts were 
entered into. 

"The Committee recommends that importers and 
dealers in foreign ferromanganese and spiegel and pur- 
chasers thereof be governed accordingly." 



Under date of July 29, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute made the following statement 
relative to chrome ore and its uses: 

"My announcement of May 21 with respect- to the 
grades of chrome ore available for refractory purposes 
stated that no ore containing more than 38 per cent 
chromic oxide or averaging more than 35 per cent 
chromic oxide should be used for these purposes. A 
letter from the Secretary of this Committee to the 
manufacturers of chrome brick and chrome cement 
called their attention to the fact that the above recom- 
mendation was intended to apply to chrome ore for 
use in the manufacture of chrome brick and chrome 
cement. 

"Producers and dealers in chrome ore have advised 
the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys that in view of the 
higher prices being paid for the higher grades by the 
ferroalloys and chemical trades, sufficient quantities 
of chrome ore running below 38 per cent will probably 
not be available to meet the requirements of the refrac- 
tories trade to the extent recommended in my announce- 
ment of May 21. To meet these conditions, it has been 



FERROALLOYS ANNOUNCEMENTS 29 

recommended that the chromic oxide limits for refractory- 
uses be increased, and it will therefore be in order, until 
further notice, for users of chrome ores for refractory pur- 
poses, including the manufacture of chrome brick and chrome 
cement, to purchase and use chrome ore for these purposes 
running not over 43 per cent chromic oxide and averaging 
not over 40 per cent chromic oxide, each carload to be con- 
sidered as a separate unit for analysis." 



Under date of September 26, 1918, the Chairman of the 
Committee on Steel and Steel Products of the American Iron 
and Steel Institute made the following statement : 

"The Committee, on recommendation of the Subcom- 
mittee on Ferroalloys, calls the attention of all users of 
domestic chrome ore for refractory purposes to the desirability 
of covering their current market requirements before the close 
of the domestic shipping season which, depending on weather 
conditions, will probably end in November next. 

" Some question has arisen among consumers of chrome ore 
for refractory purposes as to the proper procedure in cases 
where chrome ore, purchased with the expectation that it 
will not exceed 43 per cent in chromic oxide, upon receipt 
and analysis is found to contain more than 43 per cent in 
chromic oxide. In such cases, where it is desired to retain 
and use such ore, if full data is submitted to the Subcommittee 
on Ferroalloys, through its Secretary, Mr. A. A. Fowler, 
30 Church Street, New York City, permission will be given 
to receive and use such chrome ore, unless in the judgment 
of the Subcommittee on Ferroalloys there are valid reasons 
to the contrary." 



Under date of September 26, 1918, the Secretary of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute sent the following letter 
to all steel manufacturers using chrome ore : 

" The Subcommittee on Ferroalloys desires to express to 
the iron and steel industry its appreciation of the very satis- 
factory results obtained in reducing the consumption of chrome 
ore in steel making. The Subcommittee desires definite 
information as to any cases where the restricted use of chrome 
ore may have seemed to work any injury in the quality of the 
product or in reducing the life of furnaces. The committee 
also desires to know whether any special increases in costs 
have resulted from the reduced use of chrome ore, or the sub- 



30 FEREOALLOTS ANNOUNCEMENTS 

stitution of other material for it. To this end the committee 
would be glad to have you give at the earliest possible date a 
specific answer to the following questions. 

" 1 — Has the reduced use of chrome ore for refractory- 
purposes by your concern affected the quality or quantity 
of your ingot production ? 

" 2 — Has it, so far as you are able to observe, reduced 
the life of your furnaces, and if so to what extent has 
the reduced life affected your annual output of ingots or 
finished steel ? 

' ' 3 — If the reduced consumption has increased or de- 
creased your costs, please indicate approximately to what 
extent, specifying how much of the increase or decrease 
is due to (a) quality of product, (b) amount of output, 
(c) reduced life of furnaces, and (d) direct expenses . 

" Judge Gary's announcement of May 21, 1918, urged the 
maximum possible reduction in the use of chrome ore with- 
out curtailing steel production, and it is very desirable that 
the Subcommittee be informed as to the real situation." 



Under date of November 1, 1918, the Secretary of the 
American Iron and Steel Institute sent the following letter 
to users of chrome ore for refractory purposes : 

" The Subcommittee on Ferro-alloys is gratified to note 
from the replies received to our letter of September 26th that 
the steel makers have not permitted the reduced consumption 
of chrome ore to interfere seriously with the quality or output 
of steel. We note, however, in some of the replies that a re- 
duced life of the furnaces resulted from cutting down the use 
of chrome ore, and that indirectly some loss of production 
has occurred. Also, that in some cases the use of magnesite 
as a substitute has increased costs. 

"Mr. Sanford, of the War Industries Board, is of the 
opinion that the crisis in the chrome situation has been 
passed, and that the supplies of domestic ore are now of 
sufficient volume to permit the removal of restrictions from 
desirable use of chromite in the refractory trade. 

" In view of the above we beg to advise you that any in- 
creases in the use of chrome ore which will help to maintain 
quality, increase production or reduce costs should be en- 
couraged, and will meet with the approval of the American 
Iron and Steel Institute. 

" Please do not fail to note in your monthly report to the 
Institute any increase which may occur in the use of chrome 
ore by your works."

36 PITTSBURGH BASIS — YOUNGSTOWN BASIS 

PITTSBURGH BASIS— YOUNGSTOWN BASIS 



The established meaning of Pittsburgh basis or 
Youngstown basis is that the price is f.o.b. Pittsburgh 
or f.o.b. Youngstown, plus the official all-rail freight 
rate in effect from Pittsburgh or from Youngstown to 
destination on date of shipment, less the official all-rail 
freight rate in effect from seller's works to destination 
on date of shipment; and that the point of delivery is 
f.o.b. mill, except when otherwise specifically stated. 

Ruling 

When the base price of a material is named as f.o.b. Pittsburgh it 
must be delivered at such price at any point within the switching limits 
of Pittsburgh, as shown by the official switching tariffs, provided the 
through inbound rate from a point outside the Pittsburgh switching limits 
covers such delivery. The effect of this is that in the case of material 
shipped by a manufacturer whose plant is located within the Pittsburgh 
switching district to a consumer located in that district, the shipper must 
absorb the switching charge to the point of delivery covered by through 
inbound rates. This has been the long established practice of manu- 
facturers in the Pittsburgh district, and is based on the fact that manu- 
facturers located outside of Pittsburgh can effect delivery to Pittsburgh 
consumers without charges other than the through freight rate from their 
works to the Pittsburgh district, which creates a condition which must 
be met by manufacturers located in the Pittsburgh district. 

Exceptions to the above are as follows : 

1 . In the case of sales to railroads having tracks within the Pittsburgh 
switching district, a manufacturer whose plant is located within the Pitts- 
burgh switching district absorbs the switching charge to the nearest junc- 
tion point of the purchasing railroad only, provided such junction point is 
within the Pittsburgh switching district. 

2. Owing to the fact that there are no sheet and tinplate mills in Pitts. 
burgh, it has been the custom for many years to add an arbitrary rate 
for delivery in the Pittsburgh district on sheets, tinplate and roofing, 
so that on these materials the price to a consumer in the Pittsburgh dis- 
trict is the base price plus the above mentioned arbitrary rates, which 
are as follows : 

Sheet and tinplate, carloads 5c per 100 lb. minimum 

Less than carloads 6c per 100 lb. minimum 

Painted and galvanized roofing, carloads 7c per 100 lb. minimum 

Less than carloads 8c per 100 lb. minimum 

The principle, as above established, for Pittsburgh as a basing 
point, with the exception of the arbitrary on sheets, tinplate and 
roofing, will apply where a price is named with any other pDint than 
Pittsburgh as a basing point.

Sketches sheared to a radius take circle extras. 

Sketch plates (other than those sheared to a radius) will 
be invoiced at actual weight of the sketch, at the base price, 
plus standard card extras (including sketch extras), with an 
additional charge for waste, if any, to be determined by 
deducting the actual weight of each sketch from the estimated 
table weight of the smallest rectangular, plate from which 
said sketch can be secured, the difference to be invoiced at 
the rectangular plate price, less an allowance for the value 
as scrap, at the price fixed by the Government for No. I 
heavy melting scrap. 

Note. — The "rectangular plate price" at which the difference 
is to be invoiced after allowing for scrap is held to be the 
net price f.o.b. mill which the maker would have realized had 
the rectangle been shipped to same destination as the sketch 
cut from it. Such price is properly figured by adding to the 
Pittsburgh base price the full extras for size, gage, quality 
and cutting to length, and the carload freight rate from Pitts- 
burgh to destination ; and then deducting the carload freight 
rate from maker's mill to destination.

116 COLD ROLLED STRIP STEEL 

Orders for less than 100 lb. of one size will be accepted 
only at the full value of 100 lb. Extra for gages lighter than 
0.010 quoted on application. 

Note. — The charge for cutting to length does not relieve 
buyer from scrap loss, and short pieces left from cutting 
will be shipped and invoiced at price of long lengths. If 
lengths over 36 in. are ordered and no short pieces taken 
add 10 per cent»-to net price. 

Where extreme accuracy or extra fine surface finish is re 
quired or tensile strength has to be guaranteed a reasonable 
extra charge may be made by agreement between buyer 
and seller to cover such unusual requirements, provided such 
extra charge has in all cases been customary heretofore 
and does not exceed customary charge for similar require- 
ments in the past.

Frices from warehouse stock on the following shall not exceed the basis 
shown below : 

From the manufacturers' standard list prices per 100 lb. deduct the 
minim um discounts shown and add the carload rate of freight per 100 lb. 
from Pittsburgh to warehouse point. 

Items. Minimum Discounts per 100 lb. 

Hot pressed nuts, square, blank $1 .25 

Hot pressed nuts, hexagon, blank 1.05 

Hot pressed nuts, square, tapped 1.05 

Hot pressed nuts, hexagon, tapped 85 

C.p.c. & t. square and hexagon nuts, blank 1.00 

C.p.c. & t. square and hexagon nuts, tapped 75 

Above prices are maximum ; usual quantity extras of list are not to be 
added. 

Rulings on Differentials 

"Where materials are customarily shipped in standard containers of 
substantially uniform type, such as kegs, barrels, boxes, etc., the freight 
to be added to the carload mill price, f.o.b. Pittsburgh, may include the 
freight on the average weight of the container as determined by custom 
and experience. 

War tax on freight must not be added to freight cost from mill to ware- 
house. This tax must be absorbed by warehouse man in his differential. 
All material sold from warehouse must be sold in the same list of extras 
and differentials that govern sales of these products from mill excepting 
quantity differentials. The sale of small quantities of iron and steel prod- 
ucts is an inherent part of warehouse trade and has been considered in 
fixing the differentials shown. 

Machine cutting is not considered an inherent part of warehouse trade, 
and where machine cutting is done by warehouses it is considered an ac- 
commodation to the purchaser and a reasonable charge may be made there- 
for, such charge to show as a separate item on invoices. 

A warehouseman or jobber purchasing materials from another ware- 
houseman or jobber, for resale, may not add any commission or brokerage 
which would cause the party to whom he resells to pay a price higher than 
the above maximum prices. In such cases it is recommended that the 
selling warehouseman or jobber make a reasonable reduction in price, so 
that the purchasing warehouseman or jobber may, at least, resell without 
loss, at not to exceed the maximum prices. 

All warehouse prices will vary with changes in freight rates, and revised 
prices due to such changes will be effective on and after effective date of 
new freight rates. 

The table showing maximum selling prices from warehouse stock 
at various important points is intended merely to illustrate the 
principles on which the re-sale prices would be calculated. Dis- 
tributors should figure their re-sale prices from the specific instruc- 
tions given in regard to each item, and disregard the table on pages 
126 and 127 if it seems to conflict.
